Atmosphere 2024/25

[Tim of the Oak]

You have to admit that there’s a lot of season ticket holders in South Stand lower, who are there to be part of a singing section, but can’t actually be arsed to sing - atmosphere tourists.

The noise doesn’t travel well either from lower tier, so for me the more singers in upper tiers the better. Whatever happens, we need to have noise coming from both ends of the ground, something we don’t have now - that in itself would be a game changer.

It can’t be long until we hear more details about the plans for next season, as once announced, it will need time for fans to consider options, work through logistics like relocations etc.

I agree mate. On the rare occasions we get a chant started in the North Stand, it tends to go around the ground.

I’ve talked a lot on here about crowd psychology and the way songs spread. They go like a Mexican wave. People join in when others around them do. A song started in either the south stand or 111 only goes one way. A song started at the back under the roof is both twice as loud and also travels three ways all at once: down, left and right.

The current situation is worst case scenario.the ground needs one main leading voice, not 3 or 4.

I love my view and I'm on row 1 in 115, Leicester I was about 10 rows up. Absolutely brilliant away end. Need keep it going, hopefully plastic free again for Brentford and Ipswich

Brentford is one of the absolute worst away ends for tourists for some reason

If my 'campaign' is gaining traction and broad support, please continue to sense check it and post accordingly.

In light of Brighton's decision to relocate away fans to create a second exclusive home end behind the goals, ( following Spuds, Arse, Vanilla & others), those in support of doing the same at City must be constructively vocal.

I will try to meet with the club again to push the proposal again.

If at first you dont suceed......

One of the main reasons there are episodes of quiet now is the lack of tribalism, it has been mainly engineered out.

That and every fucker is ordering chips booze or a burger instead in sitting the fuck down (Sitting down there's another problem) :-)

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

As good as we were yesterday, for that reason it surprises me a little that a lot of Leicester fans think we’re the best away fans at their ground as surely other fanbases are equally loud when they go there? Or maybe not?

I think that's a really good point, I bet most teams have their best away end of the season at Leicester. Although I agree they won't see many better sets of support as they on Sunday.

On that point, I'd be really interested to see how our fans would manage in the Etihad away end, I bet we'd give it a much better go than most!

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

It’s a close call and I don’t do every away these days but from my own experience I think Leicester away when Bernardo scored in a 1-0 win in September 2021 just about edged yesterday. It genuinely was non-stop all afternoon that day, whereas yesterday had a quiet spell in the second half.

I'd also throw in Luton away in the FA Cup last year. I remember walking away from the ground overhearing Luton fans almost shell-shocked as to how good our support was

Bristol City would be up there too mate.

Were you on the second from back row?

Yeah mate - well for a while anyway!

I wasn't there for that one, but I remember a lot of their fans being complimentary about our support online afterwards
